'Jay', a longer stick for a person of at least 6' tall. Quite strong without being too heavy. Jay only has one eye on account of that's what he grew up with! He weighs in at 270 gram and is 109cm long. (43")
Any interest in Jay?

Next one up this week is 'Claud'. Quite weighty at 295grams. He's a metre (39") tall and pretty robust. Does Claud appeal to anyone?

Now, if you ever want to argue with a bit of wood, get a bit of this wood. This is the toughest stick I've ever worked. First I thought it was Elm....then I thought, 'No way, this is Oak'...But I've worked lots of Oak and non have been as resistant as this was to everything I did. I kept putting it away and going back to it to work it again but it didn't get any easier. Finaly, I decided that if that's what he wants to look like, so be it, I'm not going to force him to be what what he doesn't want. Consequently he's come out looking more or less as I found him. I've rubbed him down a bit...Ha! Just a bit! and I varnished him after he allowed me to put a couple of 'grips' around the handle, but that's about all he'd allow so that's all he got!
A good strong stick with a naturally shaped conventional grip. Good stick and we enjoyed our battles! (Even if he won.)
Her's about 92cms tall and would suit a man close to 6' in height. I like him. Do you?
(The photo shows a ragged stem...it's not, it's just the pic.)

Here's Hando.
